Commercial - Property Assessed Clean Energy & Resiliency (C-PACER) Program

What is C-PACER?

C-PACER is an alternative loan program that allows owners of eligible commercial properties to seek long-term financing from a private capital provider for qualified improvements related to energy & building resiliency. C-PACER was authorized through WA State Legislature under HB-2405 and codified in RCW Chapter 36.165. C-PACER loans are tied to the property (not the owner) through an annual property assessment managed by a third-party capital provider. C-PACER loans run with the land and are transferrable upon sale of the property. The Board of County Commissioners will be considering adoption of an ordinance to establish a C-PACER program within Skagit County.
